Vogue celebrated the phenomenon that is designer Manish Malhotra in a cover photoshoot with some of Bollywood’s most glamourous leading ladies that Manish has dressed over the years.

This Vogue shoot was a regal walk through the moderninzing of the way Indian women look in films.

“He’s a visionary. Manish is truly a genius. I think he has everything because his sensibilities are just so Bollywood! I think he just knows exactly what looks good on any Bollywood actress” Kareena said.

“I remember the first time when I entered the film industry, I was 23 years old,” said Manish while reminiscing on his humble beginning.

The actresses talked about the most memorable looks Malhotra created for them and Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham , Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Dil Toh Pagal Hai were a few of the names mentioned.

Sridevi chimed in, “Manish… He is so creative, he is so innovative!”

Vogue also did a behind-the-scenes video where the actresses tell us what the Manish Malhotra wave of fashion meant to them:

If this wasn’t a fitting tribute to the legendary designer’s fascinating 25 years of work, I don’t know what would’ve been. We salute you, Manish. And I, for one, have no idea what the face of Bollywood fashion would’ve been without you.
